all that is essential of it:

Good Advice to Farmers.
Consider your calling the most elevated
and important; never be ashamed, nor
afraid of the old hat or the working close
apron. Put off no business for to-morrow
that can be done to-day.
As soon as the spring opens and the
frost is out of the ground put your fencos
in order."
Plant no more ground than you can well
manure and cultivate to advantage.
Never hire a man to do a peice of work
which you can do yourself.
Every day has its appropriate duties
attend to them in succession.
Keep no more stock than you can keep
in good order, and that of the best kind.
Never "run in debt" without a reasona
ble probability of paying at the time agreed.
Remember that economy and industry
are the two great pillars of the farmer's
prosperity.
Take some good family newspaper and
pay for it in advance. Also an agricultural
"Keep them on file and in order, to be
found when wanted.
Never buy any thing at auction because
the article is going cheap, unless you have
use for it.
Keep a place for your tools, and your
- tools in their places.
Instead of spending a rainy day idle,
repair whatever wants mending, or post
your accounts.
By driving your business before, and
not permitting your business to drive you,
you will have opportunities to indulge in
the luxury of well applied leisure.
Never trust your money in the hands of
that man who will put his own at hazard.
When interest or debt becomes due, pay
it at the time, whether your creditor wants
it or not.
Never ask him to "wait till next week,"
but pay it. Never insult him by saying
"you do not want it." Punctuality is a key
to every man's chest.
By constant temperance, habitual mcler
ate exercise, and strict honesty, you will
avoid the fees of the lawyer and sheriti,
gain a good report, and probably add to
your present existence years of active life.
When a friend calls to see you, treat
him with the utnmost complaisance, but if
imnporumt business calls your atttention,
politely excuse yourself.
Shouldl you think of building a honuse, be
not in a hurry, but first have every materi
al on the spot, and have youar cellar as large
as theo frame.
Keep a mnemorandim book-enter all

anad all circumnstanices of imnportancs:.
In D~ecember reckon nad settle witha all

South on the Impprlance of eeta' tislog
at Washington a press dev6te to the
defence of Southern rights and institu
tions. Other members approve the
movement, who, for certain reasons, did
not think proper to unite in it.
It is not my purpose to attempt an
explanation of the state of things which
made this course necessary. It would
take many pages to do so. If you can.
not rely upon the solemn declaration of
3o many Senators and Representatives'
as free of motives to deceive as men
could be, it would be vain for mhe to
resort to proofs and exposition. But I
cannot forbear to subnit to your good
tense, a few reflections.
Ifyou.will patiently reflect upon the
situation of a party editor at Washing
ton, you v:ill see how impossible it is
that he should defend the local interests
of the party at the North. By becom
ing the organ of the whole party, he
contracts equal obligations to the North.
arn and to the Southern division. Par
y faith hinds him to neutrality, in all
matters of difference between the two
livisions. An organ could not other
wise fulfil the ends of its establishment.
A different course would endanger the
harmony of patty, which it is.the busi
ness and proper function of an organ to
preserve.. And cxcept the;editor meant
otT?, to. g n his
post." As long therefore, as he contin
ues in that position, it would be absurd
to c.5pect him to maintain any position
that all allies might not occupy. If he
fail to persuade the North to adopt
views consistent with the rights of the
South, he must needs endeavor to pre
vail on the South to fall in with the
North, on the best terms they may be
able to make. And however degrading
these terms might be, a regard for ap
pearances, as well as sound party poli
cy, would make it indispensable to per
suade the injured portion that all was
right, and fiair, and honorable.
It seems, then, that a principle of
good faith and honor-party faith and
honor-binds the conductor of an organ
either to give up his position, or serve
his party on whatever conditions the
party may require. And if good faith
were an insuflicient guaranty, the high
pecuniary advantages involved, would
render a breach of party faith next to
impossible.
Reflect upon this, fellow. citizens, and
see how ridiculous it would be fur you
o turn from your own responsible Re
presentatives and commit youri rights
and liberties to a " Party Organ" at
WVashington ! To an editor more de
pendlent on your enemies than on you
who dares not offend your enemy lest

The debates in Congress can be relied
on only to a limited extent. They are
restricted by rules of propriety to the
discussion of questions before the body,
and are also limited in duration by the
necessity of coming to a decision upon
numberless bills and resolutions in the
course of a single session. There is.
too, a great variety of matters to which
it would be indelicate for a member to
allude in debate, and which, yet, it is
all important should be known to the
public.
So far as the House of Representa
tives is concerned. it is hardly correct
to say that the privilege of debate exists
att all. The "1 previous iuestiocn" is ema.
ployed to cut otTrdehate whenever it suits
the majority to do so, and the majority
never fails to do what it suits them to do.
I now venture to predict that the friends
of the so.called "1 Compromise lIill,"
fatal as that is destined to be to the,
South, should it b)ecotme a law, will at.
tempt to a wvhiip it thbrough"' the I louse
under the gag. But where the " pre.
v'ious question'" is not emp loyed to sti.
fle debate, the rules of the I louse limit
each tmember to a single speech upon a
qulestion, antd limtit eac h speech to a sint.
gle liourt, and wh ethle r a mncembe r shalI
be allowved the floor at all rests with the
presiding oflicer. TJhe consequenice is
that the most unwarrantable assertiotn
and the grossest nmisrepresentationis go
unconitradlicted for weeks or months.

Seeing, then, that public opinion, is
but; the product of the press, and gov
ernment itself being but the product of
putblic opinion, how plain is it, that you
can enjoy the right of self-government
to no greater extent than you possess
the control of the press? But it will

There is a delusion in this. The coun
tir-i -divided two ways. It is divided
,into Whigs and Democrats, and also
into Northern and Southern people.
:Now the questions which at present
agitate the country, are not between
Wtigs and Democrats, but between the
No&thern peoplo and Southern people;
tnd the party press cannot, from its very
nnturb', take sides in these questions.
On the contrary, their proper business
is, if the North will not concede your
rights, to reconcile you to the aggres.
siou of the North. And to'do this they
must either treat the controversy as of
no "practical" importancd .or else
male ' it appear that some insulting
".compromise" does you aiple justice.
And lest you should prove too sharp

variety of patriotic declamations to exalt
your imaginations, and obfuscate your

Brotherly love"-" comprehensive pa.

crats. The idea would horify them.
They are the fomenters of turmoil and
strife, and billingsgnte calumny between
fellow-citizens of the same community.
All they intend by harmony and love
is that the South should quietly submit
to the North. Deware, fellow-citizens
of the men who, at this time, instead of
uttering words of warning to the North,
and sounding the alarm to the South,
seek to fuseinate you by such oratory as
I have described. 'T'here is deep
treachery at the bottom
But it has been objected to the pro.
posed paper that it will generate sec.
tional views and feelings. Now there
is in this more of provoking and heart
less insult than in any thing I have
ever heard. The Northern States unite
confessedlly as a section, and they tell
the South, the other section, that their
institutions must be restricted within
their present limits ; that they can have
no part of a vast region, conquered by
the arns and at the expense ofall---nor
any part of any future conquest; and
it is asked of the South to submit to the
sectional aggressions of the North, in
order to avoid enigenidering sectional
feelings among themselves. Sectiona1
aggression is quite a ha rmless thing;
sectional defence is the thing to be re,
probantedh ! If the South be assailed as
al sectiion) how ca n she possibly defend
hierself except as a section ? The
North will not aid in your defence, who,
theni is to dle fenid you ! Who ? No,
fellow-citizens, all se'if defen~ce by a
people assa ilced from abroad, is unmavoid.

deprecate sectional action, only mean

of the Constituitioni. So great wvas thir
regard for the sove ri gnity anud eqluuulity
of thle s:epa rate republics, anad so ca refil
were they to preserve thme federative
p riniiple of the Union, that the little
Coun lty St ate of Rhoido Isl anrd wans, iin
the Sen ate, put on a fibot ing of equtah

ktnow no more hionorab~le idiination for
fourteen sovereign Stat4,'thain "a
section of the country," and no bger
name for the fealty and allegian of
their people than "contracted views
and feelings." These men ahould be
reminded that he who provides not for
his household is .worse than an infidel;
that next to his household comes his
neighbor ; next -to his neighbor, his
people ; and next to his people, all
neighboring people, who have a common
interest and honor with him to defend,
and a common enemy tp repel; and
who must with him experience a com
mon destiny, whether for weal or for
woe. Patriotism and liberality of view
are not to be measured, as you would
measure the surface of the earth, by the
square mile ; but by the principles of
right, justice, and liberty that enter into
them. The enslaved inhabitants of the
great Persian Empire were far less
expanded in their -ws, than the
republican citizens of little Attica. But
those who have made up their minds to
sell the South for the best price they
cen get, do well in persuading you to
:adopt a measurement of patriotism' that
would necessarily-take in the market-in
which they expect to dispose of you, and
that would give to their ambition the
widest rage of hope.
The paper we propose to publish will
reflect the views of more than sixty.
three Democrats, and Republicans.
Whether any impression is to be made
upon the North by this means, it is im
possible for me to say. Some think it
can be lone; and feel that it is our duty
to exhaust all moral and constitutional
means, in. the Union ? How has. the
North been brought to its present state
of unanimity ? In a- groat degree by

selves as follows: 'John C. Calhoun
holds the ballanco of power in several
Southern States, and both parties there
are obliged to talk pretty strongly on
the negro question, to prevent him from
throwing his weight against them; but
let his head be once laid low, and there
will be no further disturbance.' Such
language has been used in my hearing.
Now, whether public opinion at the
North can be changed to any consider.
able extent is questionable; but what
means can so properly be resorted to as
a newspaper, which, not being fed out
of the Treasury through Northern
hands, shall express truly and fully
your views. We can think of no other
means. If you can, we submit to your
choice. We have declared to you that
something must he done, and beg you
eithter to give efficiency to our means,

The tri-weekly will cost 85 a year,

in attendhing to communications from

I cannot conclude wihtout adding a
word as to the state of the great ques.
tion before Congress. There is no hope
that any concession will be made to the
South, or, to speak more properly, that
any portion of their rights will be left ini
their hands. The North has fully
made up its mind to take all. We have
grown'a too despondent to make an e~bri
